Dr. Richard Horowitz, M.D.'s Lyme-MSIDS Questionnaire
An Essential Tool in Determining the Probability of Lyme Disease and MSIDS
|
Physicians can use the book as a guide for treating their patients through the experience of Dr. Horowitz. The book is the next best thing to seeing Dr. Horowitz himself.
Inside the book and on Dr. Horowitz's website is his famous Lyme-MSIDS Questionnaire. The questionnaire is "an essential tool in determining the probability of Lyme Disease and MSIDS". His patients typically fill this out in his waiting room before he sees them, and then based on that patients results, Dr. Horowitz consults the MSIDS Map for possible reasons why a person may not be getting better. All of this knowledge is available in his book for doctor and patient to exploit together without the need for Dr. Horowitz, MD himself.
